Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King.

“Ancestor…”

Seeing the bitter smile on Moon's face, Beibei felt even more distressed.

"Please don't...this isn't your fault..."

Moon turned his gaze away and looked at Beibei.

"It's my fault."

“I’m old and my body isn’t what it used to be. Even when I’m awake, I don’t have the energy to deal with so many things. Although Xuanzi is unreliable, he is the strongest fighter in the academy besides me. After I fall into a coma, Shrek Academy needs a strong person to hold the fort.”

"Therefore, they chose Xuanzi."

Moon's voice grew softer and softer.

"I understand them."

Looking at Moon's aged and tired face, Beibei felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears again.

“Ancestor…”

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Moon waved his hand.

“Beibei, listen to me.”

His gaze became serious.

"Although you are young and not strong enough, you are calm, know the big picture, don't panic when things happen, and act with discretion."

"I'll give you some more time to grow before I hand Shrek Academy over to you. That's when I'll feel most at ease."

Beibei was silent for a moment.

He knew Moon was praising him, but he felt no joy whatsoever.

Calm and composed? Understanding of the big picture?

But he could only watch helplessly as Xuanzi pushed the academy into a fire pit, and he couldn't do anything about it? It was all useless; he was too weak.

"Beibei, don't underestimate yourself."

Moon seemed to have seen through Beibei's thoughts and said softly.

"You've done very well."

Beibei lowered her head and did not reply.

He could feel the hand holding Moon's move slightly again.

“Ancestor…”

Beibei looked up, wanting to say something, but saw Mu En's brows suddenly furrow and his body tremble violently.

"Cough-cough-!"

A violent coughing fit erupted, and Moon's entire body trembled.

"puff--!"

A mouthful of dark red blood spurted from his mouth, splashing onto the pristine white sheets—a shocking sight.

"Ancestor Xuanzu!!"

Beibei lunged at him, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

"Help! Help!!"

Tang Ya panicked and quickly turned around to call for the Healing Soul Master.

"Don't... don't panic..."

Mu En waved his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his withered hand.

"I'm fine..."

His voice was still weak, but it had a bit more strength than before.

The medical soul master rushed over and examined the patient around the bed. Only after confirming that there was no serious problem did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ancestor, you scared me to death..."

Beibei held Moon's hand tightly, tears still streaming down her face.

Moon looked at him, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.

"Silly child, why are you crying?"

Beibei paused for a moment, unsure how to respond.

Moon paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"Beibei, there's something I need you to do."

Beibei quickly wiped away her tears and nodded seriously.

“Ancestor, please speak.”

"Spread the word that I'm about to die."

Mu En paused for a moment, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

Beibei was completely stunned.

His mind went blank, and he stared blankly at Moon, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

“Ancestor Xuan… what… what did you say?”

“I said, let the news out that I’m about to die.”

Moon repeated it, his tone calm.

"Ancestor! You..."

Beibei's tears welled up again.

"What do you mean by this?! You..."

"Don't cry."

Moon reached out his withered hand and gently wiped away the tears on Beibei's face.

"I'll tell you to do it, so just do it. Don't ask why."

Looking into Moon's calm eyes, Beibei opened her mouth as if to say something, but this was Moon's arrangement, and Moon must have his own reasons for making this decision.

"It's up to you now."

Moon's gaze swept over Beibei, then over Tang Ya.

"You guys go out first, let me have some peace and quiet."

Beibei hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up and bowed deeply to Moon.

"Ancestor, please rest well."

He turned around and walked towards the door of the medical room.

Tang Ya followed behind him, and the two of them walked out of the medical room one after the other.

The door closed behind her, and Beibei leaned against the wall, feeling completely drained, and slid weakly to the ground.

Tang Ya knelt down and gently took his hand.

“Beibei…”

"I'm fine."

……

Inside the medical room, only Moon remained, sitting on the hospital bed, gazing out the window at the distant sky.

As the sun set, the sky was tinged with an orange-red glow.

"Xuanzi, oh Xuanzi..."

Moon murmured to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.

"You're still so unreliable."

"However, it's not entirely your fault."

"It's my fault... for not explaining things properly to the academy."

He let out a long sigh.

"Xiaoyao... will you come?"

A complex light flashed in Moon's eyes.

Chapter 249 Tang San, oh Tang San, your daughter was almost ruined by you!

After leaving Shrek City, Wang Dong'er and her companions traveled a long and arduous journey back to Da Ming and Titan's side.

As for Zang Xin, he did not come along. After leaving Shrek City, he gave a few instructions and then left alone.

In his words, what follows is their own experience. He only intervened this time because the opponent was beyond their capabilities, and what this bootleg Shrek Academy had done was indeed excessive.

Wang Dong'er pushed open the door and strode into the courtyard. Da Ming and Titan were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, with a chessboard in front of them. Titan was holding a chess piece in his hand, about to place it.

"Big Father! Second Father!"

Wang Dong'er's clear voice rang out, tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Why didn't you come to help me?!"

Da Ming and Titan looked up at the same time and saw Wang Dong'er's puffed-up little face. They both looked at each other guiltily.

"Oh, Xiao Qi is back?"

Titan quickly put down his chess piece, stood up, and put on a smile.

"We were held up by something..."

"Did it cause a delay?"

Wang Dong'er stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Titan.

What were you doing when I messaged you?

Titan scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

"Something came up... I was dealing with something at the time."

When the two received Wang Dong'er's message, Tang San told them not to look at it and to listen to him. After Tang San finished explaining things to them, they subconsciously forgot about it.

Now, Titan took out his communication soul tool and saw the message that Wang Dong'er had sent them.

This is really a big problem. Wang Dong'er and the others beat up someone in Shrek City and then asked them to come and cover for them. If the two of them arrive in time, there will be absolutely no problem. After all, Shen Ce is just a weak Title Douluo, and the two of them completely overwhelm Shen Ce.

But... the problem is, neither of them went...

"If it weren't for Teacher Zang Xin's intervention, we would have been stuck there. They even sent out a Title Douluo."

"You've encountered a Title Douluo?"

Titan's expression changed slightly upon hearing the words "Title Douluo".

"A Titled Douluo? You've encountered a Titled Douluo?"

"Yes."

Wang Dong'er nodded.

"The city lord of that city is a titled Douluo, and he personally took action to deal with us."

Upon hearing this, Da Ming immediately asked Wang Dong'er with concern.

"Are you injured?"

"Of course it's alright."

Wang Dong'er patted her chest, looking smug.

"When Teacher Zang Xin arrived, he immediately knocked the city lord down, and then took us to that pirated Shrek Academy and beat up all the elders of their Sea God Pavilion."
